The second chart shows the death rate – the number of cancer deaths of people in a certain age group per 100,000 people of the same age group.

Three different measures allow us to understand how the mortality of cancer has changed: the number of deaths, the death rate, and the age-standardized death rate.

Adjusted for demographic changes we find that the age-standardized death rate from cancer has fallen by 15% since 1990.

Whilst cancer prevalence shows a positive relationship to income, death rates from cancer incorporate several factors: cancer prevalence, detection and treatment.

There is also no correlation between the level of income inequality in a country and the cancer death rate.

Cancer death rates correct for changes in population size, age-standardized death rates correct for population size and age structure. »

But this time around, it feels like the PS5 Pro is even more unnecessary than the PS4 Pro was, and it’s going to be an odd release and a tough ask for an upgrade this time around.
